Chapter 257

Fu Xuan was even prepared to get a beating.

Because it's only natural to retaliate.

But looking into Chen Li's sincere eyes, Fu Xuan felt that he might be overthinking things.

My probing seemed a bit too much.

"My name is Chen Li, I'm 17 years old, and I live in the villa area in the northeast of Cangxing City. I'm unmarried. My profession is Miraculous Forger. My work is very flexible; I occasionally create Miracles and save the world. I don't have a fixed workday..."

"Your self-introduction is way too long, you even mentioned being unmarried, which I'm not interested in... Wait, how old did you say you were?"

"You're 17? So what?"

"17? Really?!"

"Really? So... Great Augur, you don't want others to know that you're employing child laborers, do you?" Chen Li whispered in Fu Xuan's ear.

"..." Fu Xuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

I laughed in exasperation.

[Although I'm not a professional strategy system, I think... Master, you're in big trouble!]

"Chen Li," Fu Xuan suddenly spoke.

"Hmm?" Chen Li looked down at Fu Xuan.

"I've already thought of my last words, what about you?" Fu Xuan asked with a smile.

Although I'm not a professional romance guide system, I think it's not too late for you to confess your feelings.

"Huh? My Great Augur, calm down! I was just joking! Is it too late for me to say Happy April Fool's Day?"

"April Fool's Day? Never heard of it. I only know that Qingming Festival is in a few days. Have you decided where to bury me?" Fu Xuan stretched out her other fair and delicate hand that Chen Li was not holding, and then grabbed Chen Li's collar.

"Of course not! Great Augur, please calm down. What I actually wanted to ask you is... if you need a Miraculous Item?"

"Hmm? Feeling that words are useless, so you're planning to bribe me? But I'm sorry, I don't need Miraculous Items. Besides, I can't afford the cost of crafting Miraculous Item."

"Of course it's not a bribe. It's just a decision I made based on my observations of Great Augur's actions over the past few days. Fu Xuan, your Dharma Eye is indeed incredibly profound, but the bodies of the Xianzhou natives possess genetic-level self-healing abilities. This Fu Xuan Eye will indeed allow you to see more clearly, but it's probably also an eternal instrument of torture, isn't it? And I happen to have an extra Miraculous Item here..." Chen Li, taking out a ring as he spoke.

"What kind of Miraculous Item?" Upon hearing that it was related to Miraculous Item, Fu Xuan's tone became serious.

"The Ring of Suffering. It can absorb and store the pain generated by the Artifact Wielder, and then release it when the Artifact Wielder is attacked to deal damage to the enemy. I call it counter-damage or counter-shock. But its side effect is that What If you cannot feel pain at all times, it will cause a random pain that occurs in the world to befall the user," Chen Li explained.

The full name of this Miraculous Item is "Let the World Feel Pain," which Chen Li felt was very suitable for Fu Xuan.

Actually, this is also a Negative Artifact, because it's rare for someone to keep hurting themselves.

Even if you have a nail driven into your body, once the nail becomes integrated with your body, you won't feel pain constantly as long as you don't move.

Just like some soldiers who survive the battlefield, they may have shrapnel in their bodies.

But Fu Xuan can.

Because Fu Xuan's body was constantly trying to expel external objects, and the Dharma Eye was a very high-level external object that couldn't be expelled, Fu Xuan was in constant pain.

"This..." Fu Xuan hesitated.

"Give it a try. Try it first, and we'll talk about it if you're not satisfied."

When Chen Li put the ring on Fu Xuan's hand, which he had been holding all along, Fu Xuan, who had gotten used to the pain in his forehead, suddenly felt a sense of relief in his forehead and relaxed as well.

"But I can't afford the payment... Tell me, Chen Li, what do you need? I will grant any request I can." Fu Xuan was somewhat reluctant to part with the ring on his right ring finger.

But speaking of which... could Chen Li have done this on purpose?

Fu Xuan glanced at Chen Li.

"Hmm, what's wrong? Does the ring feel wrong? But Fu Xuan, isn't your right middle finger already occupied by the metal ring on your sleeve? Or do you want to wear the ring on your index finger? If it's uncomfortable, adjust it yourself. This ring can fit your finger size," Chen Li said.

Fu Xuan wore a sleeve that was attached to his right hand, with a ring at the end that went around his right middle finger.

You can't wear two rings on one finger, can you?

"It's nothing, let's talk about the reward first. I won't take your things for free. Plus the Resurrection Card link... you can ask me for two rewards. Whatever it is, I won't refuse you. You'd better cherish this offer." Fu Xuan shook his head and said.

"Two... that's perfect. Look, this is a screenshot of our chat from yesterday. It's from the Great Augur, you said it yourself."

Chen Li showed Fu Xuan a screenshot of what Fu Xuan had said, "As long as Chen Li comes to the Tai Bu Division, I will send him gold bars from the Tai Bu Division and the Grand Diviner's original white silk stockings."

"Oh my god, Fu Xuan's face is red! Run!" Qingque didn't know what Chen Li had shown Fu Xuan, but Qingque knew that Fu Xuan's face was turning red.

What else could this be but red temperate?!

Could it be that I'm attracted to someone?

It must be that Chen Li's demands were too outrageous, which angered Fu Xuan. Chen Li was about to persuade Fu Xuan...

To this, Qingque can only say one thing: Chen Li, do you even know how to play?

At this moment, Fu Xuan's blush spoke volumes.

Why aren't you running away? Are you waiting to be purged?

Qingque was genuinely worried about whether her good friend Chen Li would be able to find a girlfriend.

This guy has absolutely no idea how to make a girl happy.

Chapter 250 Fu Xuan (wearing a yellow robe): Jing Yuan! You should abdicate! (10k Fu Xuan subconsciously brought his legs together.)

For Fu Xuan, who always wore white stockings, having nothing on her legs was still a bit too cool.

However, what was even more challenging for Fu Xuan was taking off the white silk under Chen Li's gaze and throwing it into his hand... Ah, he threw it off course.

Black stockings make you look slimmer, while white stockings make you look fatter. If a girl doesn't have enough confidence in herself, she won't choose to use white stockings to flatter her leg shape.

After removing the white stockings, Fu Xuan's legs appeared even more lustrous and attractive.

However, at this moment, Fu Xuan's gaze towards Chen Li was filled with shame and anger.

That's outrageous!

The scene unfolding before their eyes left the Qingque beside them in awe.

Sorry, bro, I'll never say you don't know how to charm girls again.

Qingque originally thought that Fu Xuan had been Chen Li to the point of being red-hot, so Qingque wanted to run away, but Fu Xuan stopped her. Unexpectedly, she was able to witness such an epoch-making scene!

Speaking of which... could I be murdered by the Great Augur to silence me?

"Are you satisfied now?" Under the gaze of Qingque, Chen Li, and Pardo, Fu Xuan gently twisted the ring Chen Li wore on his right ring finger, trying to calm himself down.

This guy always manages to fuel his own already volatile emotions, making them even more out of control.

"Where are the gold bars? Your Great Augur, didn't you say that the Tai Bu Division still issues gold bars?"

"Where am I supposed to get gold bars now? And don't tell me you didn't realize that was just an excuse to lure you to Tai Bu Division, so that's enough."

"But... didn't the Tai Bu Division really have white hair?"

Taibo has already given out the original white silk, are you still missing a gold bar?

"You idiot... let's change our request. I can't get gold bars anytime soon," Fu Xuan said irritably.

"Hmm... My Great Augur, your divine eye looks delicious. May I have a lick? Just one lick."

"You're really obsessed with food. Okay, okay, I'll go get you some gold bars." Fu Xuan subconsciously covered his forehead.

"Gold bars? I have gold bars here!" Pardo suddenly raised her hand.

"Um?"

"I've put gold bars in these mysterious jars," Pardo said, pointing to the jars behind her as everyone looked at her.

"Where did you get the gold bars?" Chen Li had no idea about this.

"Isn't that super deluxe Star Taro Boba Milk Tea Commemorative made entirely of gold? I just put it back in the jar. Isn't its straw a gold bar? Gold plus a bar-shaped object. So, would you like to draw a jar, Your Great Augur? There are definitely no empty ones." Pardo promoted it to Fu Xuan.

"Oh, so you know I'm the strongest diviner in the Tai Bu Division, yet you not only don't ban my products, but you're actually trying to sell them to me?" Fu Xuan suddenly became interested.

Fu Xuan then remembered that he had wanted to see which audacious madman dared to set up a stall selling blind boxes at the Tai Bu Division because of the mystery of these jars.

Fu Xuan also tried to observe the items inside the jars and found that these jars were indeed mysterious. Even with the help of his divine eye, he could only distinguish between good and bad fortune.

In other words, will buying it result in a loss?

"Since you're Chen Li's friend, I'll only take the straw from the milk tea souvenir; I'll return the cup to you." Fu Xuan confidently walked towards the jar.

"Thank you very much, Great Augur. 1000 Credits. You can pay later."

"Open it first."

Seeing Fu Xuan confidently heading to choose a jar, Qingque walked to the side and whispered, "Is your jar genuine... and mysterious?"

"Only a level 10 divination skill can distinguish between good and bad fortune. Fu Xuan's divination skill should be level 9, but with the addition of the Divine Eye, he should be able to make a distinction." Chen Li was somewhat worried.

"Don't worry, my Mysterious Merchant class just reached level 10 and gained a new trait."

"What kind of trait?" This was the first time Chen Li had ever seen someone develop a trait in another world.

"[Playing mysterious] When I say [There is absolutely no empty], I can add a layer of [mystery] to the items I sell to cover up the truth or falsehood."

"... Isn't what we're doing a bit too much for the Great Augur?"

"Don't worry. I'll make a move to give that super deluxe Star Taro Boba Milk Tea Commemorative to this Great Augur later."

"Hmm? Then why did you have the Great Augur draw the jar? And why did you add a mysterious layer to the jar so that she couldn't draw it?" Qingque didn't quite understand.

"Hmm... because my level is stuck at 10. The job description for Mysterious Merchant says that when you break through from level 10 to 11, the higher the detection skill of the target you're selling, the higher the quality of the mysterious reward you'll receive. And I have a strange feeling that something good is going to happen," Pardo said.

"Hey, you should have said so earlier! What's so great about deceiving Fu Xuan? I'll take you to deceive the Aeon of Intellect!" Chen Li regretted it and slapped his thigh.

"Don't slap my thigh!" Qingque covered her thigh and glared at Chen Li.

"Ah, no need, no need. Although I don't know who the Aeon of Intellect is, it sounds very powerful. The main thing is that there's a limit to these kinds of mysterious rewards. I think this Fu Xuan Tai Bu is enough for me," Pardo said, waving her hand.

"Oh, that's all."

Chen Li also knew that some professions would have breakthrough quests when breaking through levels, and there would be breakthrough rewards after completing them.

These rewards are generally well-suited to the professional.

But...

"As more and more group members have personal panels, the experience gained from doing things that align with their own behavior in other worlds seems to be increasing. Now, professionals can even generate professional traits in other worlds... Could this world and personal panels be evolving?" A slightly absurd thought couldn't help but pop into Chen Li.

Every time a member with a personal panel levels up in the other world, it's a data update. Once they return to Chen Li's world and upload their records, the world's Worldview will be updated and iterated...

Chen Li had heard his parents say that his greatest advantage in this world was that he could learn from others and constantly update himself.

But it seems like a good thing that we don't need to worry about it...

At least for Pardo, this is a good thing.

"This is definitely it!" Fu Xuan said confidently, pointing to a jar.

Fu Xuan observed with his divine eye that only this jar was emitting golden light.

"Alright, you can knock it yourself." Pardo looked at Fu Xuan and the jar expectantly.

After Fu Xuan took the hammer next to the stall and gently tapped the jar, breaking it, he saw a cup of milk tea inside.

Fu Xuan's face lit up with joy, but then he was stunned.

It is indeed milk tea, but it is real Taro Boba Milk Tea, not a gold souvenir.

"Why is there still milk tea in the jar?" Fu Xuan's tone was full of disbelief.

And how could I possibly be wrong about the divination?

"Besides being mysterious, Pardo's mysterious jar also has a preservation function. It's no problem to store milk tea," Chen Li said.

"That's not the point, the point is..."

"Buzz!"

Fu Xuan Chen Li, and Pardo Duo all looked up at the same time.

After seeing the other three people look up, Qingque also looked up, but could not see anything except the sun in the sky.

Qingque scratched her head, feeling like she was being ostracized.

What are you guys looking at? Count me in!
